Guided meditation: In-person community in a digital world

*This event is posted in multiple groups, so don't worry if there are low RSVPs here, there is always a good group at this event*

Being connected online has created a lot of opportunities that weren't possible before, from taking classes online to working from home to Meetup groups, but it's also led to increased feelings of isolation for people who crave in-person community. Let's start to build back that sense of community with a conversation about the digital divide, followed by a guided meditation.

This week we'll do a guided practice on compassion based around the idea of bodhichitta, the heartfelt motivation to improve yourself for the sake of others. This can lead to an increased sense of connectedness and well-being.

These hour and a half sessions are a place for imperfect people to have deep discussions and create meaningful change. Come wind down at the end of the week with conversation with like-minded people followed by a guided meditation, using Open Heart methods ranging from insight meditation to compassion practice.

I'm Lindsay Kriebel, and instructor with Open Heart Sangha. I've practiced with Open Heart for five years, following ten years of throwing every self-help solution I could find at addiction, depression, and anxiety. But complex problems can't be solved by more overthinking. Simple solutions like developing compassion for myself and others work exactly because they are so basic. When I'm not seeking spiritual realization, I'm a librarian, seeking information for law students at the University of Arizona.
